Contain spillage, and then collect with an electrically protected vacuum cleaner or by wet-brushing and place in
container for disposal according to local regulations (see section 13).
6.4 Referencetoothersections
For disposal see section 13.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
7.1 Precautionsforsafehandling
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Avoid inhalation of vapour or mist. Avoid formation of aerosols.
Use explosion-proof equipment.Keep away from sources of ignition - No smoking.Take measures to prevent the build
up of electrostatic charge.
For precautions see section 2.2.
7.2 Conditionsforsafestorage,includinganyincompatibilities
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Containers which are opened must be carefully
resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

EN374
If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ from EN 374, contact the
supplier of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an
industrial hygienist and safety ofcer familiar with the specic situation of anticipated use by our customers. It
should not be construed as offering an approval for any specic use scenario.
BodyProtection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, Flame retardant antistatic protective clothing., The type of
protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance
at the specic workplace.
Respiratoryprotection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multipurpose
combination (US) or type AXBEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering
controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators
and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN
(EU).
Controlofenvironmentalexposure
Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains. Discharge into the
environment must be avoided.
